What's the thickness of the skirt-armor from our Panzer? Or did it vary?
-
IIRC it's 5mm. It's there to detonate shaped-charge weapons before they contact the hull.

Towards the end of the war they were see through wire type skirts.

You do recall correctly according to the armor info Pyro provided for AHWiki. Panzer IV (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Panzer_IV_Type_H) :)

What pages would they be on because in my book I can find no photos.

You may be looking at the modelers version of the Osprey addition. I am speaking about the reference version. These books along with photos generally have a few artist renderings. I know one of the rendering shows the wire skirts. These were on very late versions of the Mk IV. I will check when I get home to see if any photos show the wire skirts and I will let you know what pageit's on.

No problem, was very easy to find. Just entered "Fat German Chicks wearing Wire Skirts" and the first dozen or so images were of German tanks. Go figure :D

ISBN 1-85532-843-7 Maybe your book is newer.
Anyways, learned something new. :aok
